Featured Rower of the Month - Darius!

In this monthly feature, we get to know our rowers better through getting them to share more about themselves and how they feel about dragonboating. So do look out for the feature and of course, we will be contacting each and everyone of you with the questions when it is your turn to be featured. =)

To kick start this feature with a bang, we have with us our one and only BLR!!

When did you join Sunday Dragons?

I was one of the pioneers, when Sunday Dragons first got started? (ok, that would be July 2007 heheh.)

What made you join the team?

For the love of being involved in team sports and outdoor activities. Also, being able to talk cock sing song with childhood friends in the team! And of course, making new friends like you guys and gals!! (ahem, since we are all so good looking, being part of us elevates your status on the good looking scale also ok....)

What do you enjoy about rowing?

To be able to train to look like a beach hunk...ha. Ok, the sun, the tan, the babes and the great great company! (ok lah, ok lah, we already know we are cool people to hang out with....)

How has your life been impacted since joining the team?

I can't sleep late on Sat night and I'm always shagged-out after Sunday's training!!!!! (if not you think so easy to look like handsome beach hunk meh?!)

What is dragonboating to you?

A true blue team sport whereby every individual on the boat must be disciplined to train diligently and to do their best in order for the boat to succeed. (well said, BLR!)

Tell us about what you do for a living.

I am with Certis CISCO, sales on security services for government segment. (hmm....ok...must be damn busy since it's a sales job....but busy means good business!)

What makes you happy?

Having an active lifestyle with happy people around me. (like the bunch of us in the team haha!)

Tell us something about you that few people know.

Besides my wife, I have a weakness for unhealthy food. Dragonboat training is a great way to get rid of some guilt level! (totally agree! and erm, please persuade your wife to come and join us haha!)

How did your favourite phrase "pain is temporary, glory is forever" come about?

Errhm...I think it's a commando phrase. (but very apt for the sport we are involved in!)

Describe yourself in less than 10 words!
